FAQs

Are PUMA Easy Rider shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, while inspired by running shoes from the 70s, the modern PUMA Easy Rider is designed primarily for casual wear and fashion. For athletic performance or running, we recommend PUMA's contemporary sports footwear lines.

How do I clean the suede parts of my PUMA Easy Rider shoes?

To clean suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner designed for footwear onto a clean cloth and gently rub the stained area. Always allow them to air dry completely.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The PUMA Easy Rider, especially with its suede and textile upper, is not waterproof. Exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials. We recommend using a water and stain repellent spray specifically for suede and textiles for added protection.

Do PUMA Easy Rider shoes fit true to size?

Generally, PUMA Easy Rider shoes fit true to size. However, foot shapes can vary, so if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider trying a half-size up. Consult a size chart if unsure.

What does LWG certified leather mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification means that the leather used in your shoes comes from tanneries that have been audited and certified for their environmental performance. This indicates more responsible and sustainable leather manufacturing practices.

Can I put my PUMA Easy Rider shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash PUMA Easy Rider shoes. The harsh detergents and agitation can damage the suede, nylon, and adhesives, leading to discoloration, shrinkage, or structural damage. Always follow the spot cleaning and suede care guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to even out the texture.

White areas are stained or discolored

For non-suede white areas, use a soft cloth with a mixture of mild soap and water to gently blot and wipe the stain. For stubborn stains, a white shoe cleaner can be used cautiously. For suede, use a suede cleaner.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially

PUMA Easy Rider shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Soles are slippery on certain surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, ensure the soles are clean from dirt or debris that could reduce grip. For severe wear, consider a cobbler for sole repair or replacement.

Foul odor develops inside the shoes

Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Remove insoles if possible for separate airing.

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your PUMA Easy Rider shoes, especially given their suede and white color components.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs on the nylon base, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid saturating the material.
  2. Suede Care: For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for suede and textile shoes to help protect them from elements and prevent future staining.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
  6. LWG Certification: The use of Leather Working Group (LWG) certified leather indicates a commitment to environmentally responsible tanning practices. While this doesn't change your cleaning routine, it assures you of the material's ethical sourcing.
